My vet and many other people advised me to neuter my dog Sweet Pea. I had him neutered yesterday, at the age of 6 months and three weeks. I struggled with the decision quite a bit, since Chaddy and Danny were strongly against it because of their religion. After I brought Sweet Pea home from the vet yesterday Chaddy seemed heartbroken.

There was a tiny amount of blood after a couple of seconds had passed, but I cleaned the wound immediately with soap and water and rubbing alcohol.

So many people I know have hit their heads, often much more severely than I did, without as many after effects. I must be very fragile! Honestly, I've gotten to ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder how I manage to hold it all together. So many of my experiences disgust me deeply. People's arrogance, rudeness, and self-serving voracity have left such an unpleasant taste in my mouth. If I had my druthers, I would be a hermit, but one who lives comfortably at least. I've often fantasized about living away from human contact. ( Read more... )

I always choose life, yet I am aware of the foibles of this world. My gosh how I abhor the ravenous, slavering maw of human society. But I continue to choose life ( Read more... )
